You know what? Sometimes people don't need you to merely listen, contrary to the old myth telling you to be a silent listener for someone. Instead, the deepest conversations take place when both the mouths have something to utter to each other. Today, most of us are in a reckless space and all we want is someone to not just hold us but our hands and walk the same road not beside us but with us...

The moon too has scars

Yet it is loved by the stars

Then why do I need to be pure

To get your love that I crave for

Is the sun hated for its scorching rays?

If not, why do you ask me to calm my blaze?

When I accepted you the way you are

Then why am I to change into a flawless star?

                      

बीते हुऐ  कल की आग न सही
तपिश वो लिए चल रहा था
सब कुछ राख न सही
आसुओं से भीगा अंगारा लिऐ चल रहा था
अपने सपनों से सजे आज को पाने के लिऐ
वो बर्फ का गोला  अब उबल रहा था
अपनी ही गर्मी से पिघल गया वो
कल की काली रात में सितारा  भी कहीं  ढल  गया।
                   

Lonliness was never really alone. Wishes constantly battled with Satisfaction. While Wishes demanded justification for never being fulfilled. Satisfaction was often wounded deeply.  Ambiguity of rights and wrongs led to calling in Frustration. And eventually Lonliness kept fighting its way out towards being left alone for sometime. Maybe it was never meant to be sad. But it became one.

"Yes, I am ambitious....
I crave for being not just loved, but nurtured.
I crave for being not just heard, but understood.
I crave for having not just family and friends, but a wholesome little world with them.
I crave for having people not just to tell my stories, but a few intimates to share everything with.
I crave for having helped not just to smile, but to laugh with all might.
I crave for having not just my tears wiped off my face, but to let them flow and be hugged the tighest.
I crave for being not just being complimented, but be appreciated and accepted for who I am.
I crave for never having to be adjusting with or sacrificing for, but to be stood by or fought for.
I crave for not being sympathised with, but to be empathised.
And if all that I crave for, make me ambitious and stupiditily brave, then I guess you got me right. "- Only her mind had the fortune of letting these thoughts roll, but for the world outside, she was still a hopeless  creep.

"Why couldn't we be poured out of this mouth?"- muttered Words, handcuffed.
"I was never in his nature, I was born in your womb"- cried Silence to words.
"No, you never existed; I made these words what they are."- protested Hollowness.
"Shut up all of you. You're kiiling me slowly."- sobbed his Soul.
Anger made him curse Lord for what he had become.
..... And meanwhile, the Brain laughed out loud at that  mess it created.
